Eco Warriors
At South Parade Primary School, one of our Key Drivers is 'Eco-Learning'. With that in mind, we set up our Eco Warriors to monitor and encourage Eco-friendly learning in our school. We have an Eco Warrior from each class (Year 1 - Year 6) and our members were chosen after applying for the role using an application form. Our Eco Warriors are responsible for ensuring the rest of our school are aware of what we can do to help look after our planet. We aim to meet once a month to discuss our plans in school, ideas for the future and to work on our current projects. We are working towards our goal of achieving Eco-Schools Green Flag status.
Please see below our action plan for this academic year:
Topic | Action | Target/Measure | Timescale/ Deadline | Who is responsible? | Evaluation of action/ |
Energy | To check all classrooms have a poster or a small sign to remind staff/children to turn off the lights. | Take meter readings with the help of the caretaker (Callum). Eco-Spies to check during lunch times (random spot check) to see how many appliances are left on. | Start after Christmas (January 2025 – monitor for the half term) | Members from the Eco committee to become ‘Eco-spies’ and do random spot checks during dinner times. |
